| The United States: New Fast-Act Rheumatism Capsule contains hidden drug ingredient indomethacin (English only) |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use New Fast-Act Rheumatism Capsule, a product promoted and sold for joint pain and arthritis on various websites and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that New Fast-Act Rheumatism Capsule contains indomethacin not listed on the product label. Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs may cause increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as serious gastrointestinal damage, including bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines. This hidden drug ingredient may also interact with other medications and significantly increase the risk of adverse events, particularly when consumers use multiple NSAID-containing products.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:

In Hong Kong, the above product is not a registered pharmaceutical product.
